days 11 and 12; 30 days of TV

My new mantra: All this being tired and not being able to stay up late and actually working will be worth it when you hold that check in your hand and realize that it's all yours.

I have to repeat it daily. LOL.

Day 11 - A show that disappointed youI love Merlin. Let me get that out of the way. I've loved it since I first watched it, and I knew I would. I love all things Arthurian. I love this version, and the characters are fun, if not especially unique all the time. But, having said that, it's also hugely disappointing. They've had many, many opportunities and interesting storylines to explore, but instead they hit the magic reset button and go back to how things were. There are nuances of the relationships and stuff, but at this point, the characters seem to drag, and it's almost as though some very important events in S1/2 never even happened. And don't even get me started on how far downhill Gwen and Morgana have gone over the past two seasons. Coming off the S2 finale, the whole world was full of promise, and while the first few episodes of S3 were promising and had very cool potential, it just never regained the magic that made early Merlin fun.

Day 12 - An episode you've watched more than 5 timesI have a ton of episodes that I've watched more than 5 times; I'm a tv junkie. But I'm trying to spread the love around a bit and talk about some shows that I really don't talk about a lot. So hence Stargate Atlantis. The show that generated the pairing that got me off my butt and into the world of fanfic. And this episode, Rising, was a very good one. Yes, SGA is cheesy. And maybe Rising isn't the strongest pilot ever(being honest, it isn't. at all), but it's fun. It's easy to watch and get caught up in all over again. And the scene where the city rises will never stop being beautiful. I've always had a bit of an unhealthy love for the physical city Atlantis, and this is where it was born.
